Disability Rights Arkansas

DRA has drafted the proposed Priorities for fiscal year 2018, which runs from October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018. The proposed priorities are based on the public input DRA received earlier this summer, as well as an analysis of the service requests received over the past 12-24 months.

These priorities will go through the approval process by the PAIMI Advisory Council and the DRA Board of Directors the last week of September. If you have any comment about the proposed priorities, please let us know. Deadline for comment is September 27, 2017.

To submit comments, you can send them via the contact form at the bottom of each page of this website (email), you can message or post them to DRA’s Facebook page, you can call DRA at 501.296.1775 or 800.482.1174, or you can visit our offices or send comments via mail to: 400 West Capitol Avenue, Suite 1200, Little Rock, AR 72201.
